Financing Study Abroad

In order to give all students, not only those who can afford it, access to study abroad, Lasell has a home tuition model. This approach makes the study abroad experience more easily available to all students, regardless of their family’s financial position. Financial aid is provided to a majority of students at Lasell to ensure that ability to pay does not limit their educational opportunities.  Because we see the study abroad experience as an integral part of the educational experience at Lasell, we believe that the same principle should apply to studying abroad. In other words we have this policy in the spirit of equity and basic fairness, making it possible for all students to study abroad.

Lasell students studying abroad pay Lasell tuition, fees, room and board, and Lasell pays the provider. Financial aid is awarded as if the student is on campus full-time and living in residence.  Institutional (Lasell) financial aid as well as state and federal aid is available on the same basis.
